Just to understand, in samba NT4 domain, the recommendation was that, must
exist only 1 network browser in the network, them we had to turn off this
service(computer browser) under windows machines, because this service
conflict with samba, the reason was that those machines will try to became
master/local browser in the domain and start sending packets all over the
network which is traffic unnecessary.

With samba4 AD setup, the rule continue or I was wrong?
